The alarming disease of this
country is nervous debility and
prostration. 1t goes under
many names but it is essen
TALLY the same complaint.
Hospitals and private institu-
tons for nervous patients are
crowded. The average Of life
in the United States is de-
creasing every year. Sudden
deaths from nervous collapse
among our business, profess
ional and public men are SO
frequent as scarcely to excite
remark. The majority of sui
cides, committed without APP
parent reason, or underso-called
depression of spirits" are
really prompted by nervous
prostration, which is a fruitful
source of insanity and crime
with all their grief and horror.
These facts are startling.
They threaten the very life Of
the nation. They assail the
springs of its power and pros
perity. They wreck manhood's
strength and woman's useful
ness and beauty.
Every one should know the
causes. What are they9 The
r answer is easy and terribly
plain: Our vicious personal
y habits; our careless and lawless
a eating and drinking; the In
}. tense mental and physical strain
!. arising from our mad race after
money, position and influence;
i the fears and struggles of pov.
It erty; the use Of narcotics and
stimnlants; our fashion Of
is turning day into night and
T. night into day; and, briefly,
tie our desperate willingness to
n pay any price for an hours
pleasure or success. So we
n burn life's candle at both ends
70 and fill the lunatic asylums
ID and the graveyards.
~ The disease from which we
es suffer and die is, in plain Eng
in lish, Nervous Dyspepsia, as il
to is seated in the Nerves and il
of the organs of Digestion, Assim
ell ilation and Nutrition. Healthy
digestion being impeded or dies
m troyed, the whole body, nerve
3D. included, is literally starred
e ELF even when there is no ENACT
w. alton to tell the sad story.
